Re: FN-FORUM PWS QUESTION

BTW You don't need Frontpage extensions to make PWS work or ASP or IIS. The
best one I had was when someone had named her PC "12" or something similar,
which, of course, is not a legal name and PWS thought it was an IP
address--so of course it couldn't find the server! You can also get hostname
in PWS/PC name mismatches sometimes, if you change the PC name after
installing PWS. I really hate PWS, almost as much as I hate FP extensions
(talk about an admin nightmare)
